Will my website go down while I connect the domain?

No. You build and review on a preview address first. Your public domain changes only when you update DNS and publish the new site.

Will connecting my domain break my email?

No. Website records and email records are different. Redo Page tells you which web records to add without changing the MX records your email uses.

How long does a custom domain take to connect?

Many DNS changes verify within minutes. Some registrars take a few hours, and occasionally changes can take up to a day to fully propagate.

Do I need to buy an SSL certificate?

No. Redo Page provisions HTTPS automatically after DNS verifies, so visitors see a secure connection.

Can I use a domain from GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, or Squarespace?

Yes. Keep the domain wherever you bought it and point its DNS records at Redo Page when the site is ready.

Can I use both yourbusiness.com and www.yourbusiness.com?

Yes. You can connect the bare domain and the www version so visitors land on the right site either way.

Connect your custom domain without taking your site offline.

Build on a free preview address first. When the new site is ready, Redo Page shows you the exact DNS records to copy, verifies the connection, turns on HTTPS, and lets you keep editing after launch.

Preview free. Connect your domain when you are ready.

Preview first

your-site.redopreview.com

Build and review the new site privately. Your real domain does not change yet.

Copy DNS records

www CNAME sites.redopage.com

When the site is ready, Redo Page shows the exact records to paste into your domain settings.

Go live securely

www.yourbusiness.com

Your domain points to the new site, HTTPS turns on, and you keep editing after launch.

The part everyone is actually worried about.

Connecting a domain sounds risky because the wrong instructions can break the wrong thing. Redo Page keeps the launch boring in the best way.

Your site stays up

Build on a preview address first. The current site keeps working until you choose to connect DNS.

Your email keeps working

Connecting a website does not mean changing the email records your inbox already uses.

You are not guessing

Redo Page gives you the record type, name, and value, then verifies that the connection worked.

The launch kit, not a DNS lecture.

The useful part is not memorizing records. It is having a calm path from private preview to verified domain to secure live site.

A private preview before DNS changes

Work on the new site at a Redo Page preview address while the current domain keeps serving customers.

Exact records instead of vague instructions

Redo Page shows the record type, name, and value, then checks whether the domain is pointed correctly.

HTTPS and publishing after verification

Once DNS verifies, the secure version comes online and your site stays editable after launch.

What is a custom domain?

A custom domain is your own web address, like yourbusiness.com, instead of a builder address with another company name inside it.

It is what customers remember, type, share, and trust. Connecting one simply means pointing that domain at the place where your site lives.

DNS, without the jargon.

DNS is the phone book for the internet. It tells browsers where your domain should go. You do not need to memorize the terms, but these are the two records you usually see.

CNAME record

Points a subdomain like www to your site. Think of it as “www.yourbusiness.com lives over here.”

A record

Points the bare domain, like yourbusiness.com without www, to a specific address.

Type	Name	Value	Points
CNAME	www	sites.redopage.com	www.yourbusiness.com
A	@	Shown in Redo Page	yourbusiness.com

Redo Page fills in the real values for your site. This is only what the records look like.

How to connect your domain.

The exact screen looks different in every registrar, but the job is the same: copy the records, wait for verification, then publish.

1
Build the new site on a free preview address.
2
Open DNS settings where you bought the domain.
3
Copy the CNAME and A records Redo Page shows you.
4
Let Redo Page verify the connection and turn on HTTPS.
5
Publish on your domain and keep editing the site.

Already own a domain somewhere else?

You do not have to transfer it. Keep your domain at GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Squarespace, Wix, or any other registrar, and point the DNS records at Redo Page.

No domain yet?

Start on a free preview address today. When you are ready, buy a domain from any registrar and connect it with the same steps.

Worried about Google rankings?

Keep the domain Google already knows, keep the useful pages and redirects, and publish when the new version is ready.

A custom domain on a site you can actually maintain.

A domain alone does not make a site useful. The win is pairing the address customers already know with a site you can update yourself.

Redo Page keeps publishing, forms, SEO settings, redirects, media, and analytics close to the editor, so the domain stays attached to a site that keeps moving after launch.
